The purpose of field trips is to enrich the academic experience for our students and is tied in with current curriculum. We need parents to make field trips a reality and greatly appreciate the high rate of volunteerism at Golden View. There will always be a specific number of parents requested to drive and/or chaperone for these events. Please keep in mind that field trips are not opportunities for family outings. Unfortunately, we aren't able to include siblings nor out of town friends or family members to accompany us. Thank you for your understanding. I will do my best to give as many parents as possible a turn to volunteer on at least one of our trips.
If we drive - Due to Senate Bill 929, all children must be restrained in the back seat, in a booster seat, until their 8th birthday; even your own child. If we travel in personal vehicles and not on a school bus, all students will be required to bring and carry their own booster seat (labeled with their name) to every field trip.
SRVUSD has a system for all adults who wish to volunteer on a school campus or drive/chaperone day and overnight field trips and athletic events. This Volunteer Management System features a web-based software application that allows the District and all schools to better track and to provide the appropriate level of clearance for school volunteers. ALL adult volunteers will need to go through this new process.
